Gambit is a film written by Joel and Ethan Coen, starring Colin Firth, and directed by Michael Hoffman. It is a remake of a caper comedy of the same name set in London. The two original leads were Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine. I am not sure that Firth has the same clever wit and charm that Caine had, but I trust that Firth can slip into a role and create a character. Diaz on the other hand, I am not so sure.
The original Gambit is a comedic caper revolves around a professional thief who recruits a Eurasian nightclub singer to go along with him on a planned burglary of a statuette owned by a wealthy Arab. It received mediocre reviews, currently sitting at 79% on rottentomatoes. Did the Coen problems write a screenplay that will surpass the original?
Is Diaz about ready for a career comeback? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
